has stuck by my side for all these years. Yesterday, we celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. THAT'S A LONG TIME.

Yet it feels like yesterday that I said "I do" at Patten Chapel on a chilly (it snowed that morning!) November day back in the year 2000.

This is where a normal person would post a few pictures from said wedding. But since we got married before the digital age and all my pictures are buried upstairs in a junky closet (and covered in Christmas wreaths that will soon be hung once again on my windows), I will instead post pictures of our dinner at Hennen's last night.

I lost 23 pounds before getting pregnant again!

About Me

I am a stay-at-home mom and love it! Matthew and I have been married since November 2000. We have three sons, Andrew (3/24/06), Benjamin (4/24/08), and Thomas (3/25/10). We found out after Benjamin was born that he has Down syndrome and heart defects. He had open-heart surgery and intestinal surgery in the first ten months of his life, and he is doing wonderfully. Life is never dull with three sons!
